Radio or TV Interference

GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
• This appliance must be
grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, ground-
ing reduces risk of electric
shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current.
The Drawer Microwave is
equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with a ground-
ing plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with the National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a
risk of electric shock. Do not use an extension cord.
If the power supply cord is too short, have a quali-
fied electrician install an outlet near the appliance.

About Your Drawer Microwave

ALWAYS have food in the Drawer Microwave when it is on
to absorb the microwave energy.
The vent under the Drawer Microwave must not be
blocked. During microwaving, steam may come from the
right side of the vent.
When using the Drawer Microwave at power levels below
100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off.
It is normal for the exterior of the Drawer Microwave to be
warm to the touch when cooking or reheating.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking.
Room humidity and the moisture in food will influence the
amount of moisture that condenses in the Drawer Micro-
wave. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much
condensation as uncovered ones.
The Drawer Microwave is for food preparation only. It
should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your Drawer Microwave is rated 950 watts by using the
IEC Test Procedure. In using recipes or package direc-
tions, check food a minute or two before the minimum
time and add time accordingly.
When opening or closing the drawer quickly, food in the
drawer may be spilled. To clean, please refer to the Clean-
ing and Care section on page 17.

About Microwave Cooking

• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards
outside of dish.
• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of
time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely
overcooked can smoke or ignite.
• Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook
for suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave
plastic wrap or a lid may be used. Covers prevent
spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
• Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin
areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking before
dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
• Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice
during cooking, if possible.
• Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed
cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large
items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
